CADAAD is an open access journal. No article submission, processing (APCs) or other charges apply when authors submit new articles for possible publication.

TEMPLATE

Authors are highly encouraged to use the Styles of the journal’s Word template to facilitate the copy-editing process. On the first page of this template, you will find some lines with the respective styles that we use for editing.

FORMATING

Otherwise, if you’re not using the styles from our Word template, articles should be:

Single spaced throughout

Leave one line space between paragaphs

Do not use tabs or spaces to indent new paragraphs

Avoid inserting empty paragraphs to format page layout, etc.

Do not insert empty lines after section headings.

We only accept contributions in MS Word, RTF, or plain text. No PDF, please.

ARTICLE INTRODUCTION

Each article should contain the following at the beginning:

Title: subtitle

Name of the author(s)

Authors’ contact information (affiliation and email)

Abstract (no more than 200 words)

Key words (no more than five key words separated by commas)

STRUCTURE

Sections should be structured following the numerical system which means 1. or 1.1. or 1.1.1. Only sub-sections up to the third level are accepted (hence no 1.2.3.1).

ENDNOTES

Please do not use footnotes. Rather, use numbered endnotes.

FIGURES (INCL. TABLES AND IMAGES)

All figures should appear in the article and should be captioned and numbered (consecutively throughout the article rather than according to chapters or subchapters).

DATA PRESENTATION

If you are presenting detailed transcripts (those used in a conversation analytic framework), please send a PDF of the transcript and indicate in the text which file that the copy-editor should insert (e.g. Insert Transcript 1 here). This will avoid any unwanted modifications of the transcripts while sending the file. Please do not forget to add a section with the ‘Transcript Conventions’.

QUOTATIONS AND REFERENCES IN THE TEXT

Punctuation:

Short quotations should appear in the main text in single quotation marks (e.g. ‘…’).

If there are quotation marks in the selected quote, use double quotation marks (e.g. “…”).

Quotations longer than 3 lines should be indented in the text without quotation marks (use the appropriate style in the Word template). Don’t add the reference after the quote but before it.

Keep quotation marks before any other punctuation.

Quoting sources:

Where the author’s name is given in brackets, do not use commas between author and date. For example: Metaphors are ideological in so far as they ‘can contribute to a situation where they privilege one understanding of reality over others’ (Chilton 1996: 74).

If the author’s name is integrated into the text, put the date (and page number) of the source in brackets after the author’s name. For instance: According to Fowler (1991: 25), ‘representation, in the press as in all other kinds of media and discourse, is a constructive practice’.

If the source is an online page then simply state ‘online’ instead of the page number. For instance: It seems that terrorism is increasing (The Guardian 2016: online).

If you are quoting from an Internet page then put ‘[online]’ instead of the page numbers. For instance: According to Pittman’s discourse (2013: [online]), …

If you modify parts of the quote, use square brackets to indicate your modifications. For instance: ‘Extracts from Scarlett’s diary […] showed how [he …] was left in the care of Lobo’.

If you quote from a video, write the time (minutes : seconds) where the quote can be found between square brackets. For instance: (Youtube 2017: [08:43])

Referencing sources:

References by single authors: (Baker 2008; Wodak 1996; Teo 2000)

References to multiple works by same author: Racism has been a focus of CDA (van Dijk 1987, 1991, 1993).

References written by 2 authors should appear with an ‘and’ in between both names: (Weinblum and Iglesias 2013; Baker and Levon 2016; etc.)

References written by more than 2 authors should appear with an ‘et al.’ after the first author’s name: (Baker et al. 2008; Frosh et al. 2001; etc.)

REFERENCE LIST (AT THE END)

The list of references appears at the very end of the manuscript. Titles of books and journals should have word-initial capitalisation on all content words. This doesn’t apply to titles of articles or chapters. References should be ordered alphabetically, and then chronologically if works by the same author(s) are referenced (where necessary using YEARa, YEARb etc.).For instance:

WEB REFERENCES** – use previous guidelines by inserting [online] after the name of the webpage + at the end: Available: URL. Last accessed dd/Month/yyyy. (If there is no author, write the name of the website).

*If the article is hard to get access to, please also provide the URL link of the article according to the format for web references and youtube videos (without inserting ‘[online]’.

**Please remove the Hyperlink from the URL that you paste. In other words, we should not be able to click on the link to open the respective webpage. If that happens on Microsoft Word, right-click on the URL and select ‘Edit Hyperlink’. Then remove the Hyperlink.
